GREENWATER, Wash. (AP) — The Pierce County sheriff’s office says two men drove out to a forest road off Highway 410 near Greenwater where one man fatally shot the other.

The man with the gun called 911 about 1:30 a.m. Wednesday and said the other man had pulled a knife.

Sheriff’s spokesman Ed Troyer says arriving deputies found the dead man in the car.

Troyer says both men in their 30s from King County are known criminals who had been at a party earlier.

The shooter has been detained.
